When Neatie got to tlie scene of action tlie two men bail ueen forced out upon the sidewalk in front of the hotel.

With the assistance of one or two by -standees Officer Neafie recovered liis feet, aud ietaining hold of Higgins, proceeded towards the county jail, followed by tiie man Hawkins. Mr. Neatie ordered constables Ely aud Adams to arrest Hawkins. Hawkins at once bounded out of tlie reach of the Crowd aud rau like a deer down Main street, followed by Ely and Adams.

At the corner of Spring street mid Main, Hawkins drew a revol rer and thrned on his pursuers. He snapped the revolver twice before it went off. The third time he pulled the trigger the revolver discharged, the brill whizzing by into a tree within two feet of Adams.

Judges of Election, First District, N. P6rter Teed, Ashley B. Stout ua Lecture at the Baptist Church. A small audience gathered at the Baptist Church last evening to hear a lecture by the Rev. Stewart Walsh, of New York, on the subject Are You a Lunatic?" Upon tlie authority of Webster's dictionary that insanity is unsoundness of mind, the shaker labored to prove that nearly everybody is more or less insane.

Some of liis deductions were more ingenious than conclusive, and it cannot lie said that much of -tlie subject matter of the discourse was new to the thinking aud reading public. Dr. Walsh claimed that inmates of lunatic asylums possess the same marks of character and disposition as are manifest in rational persons, except that the former have these traits in a greater degree. Such characteristics are self-conceit, reasoning from false premises, etc. Tlie speaker illustrated his points by numerous anecdotes, some of which were very amusing.

He closed with an appeal for right living, claiming that as the surest preventive of insanity. At the close of the lecture a man named Ralph, formerly connected with a band of minstrels in tlie city, gave several mediocre performances upon different musical instru; ments, interspersing the productions with Bongs and jokes such as may lie heard at the average miiwtrel show. His efforts were evidently not well received. School Meeting. The trustees have called a meeting of the legal voters of the Red Bank school district on Tuesday evening next at eight o'clock.
